Darija for you
Learn Darija before moving to Morocco
Prepare for your move to Morocco with live online Darija lessons from Moroccan teachers: arrival, housing, shopping and first conversations.
Short answer
Yes, you can — and it helps. Starting Darija online before your move means you arrive able to greet people, handle taxis and shops, and understand the basics from day one.
What to learn first
A practical order for the months before a move:
- Greetings, politeness and introducing yourself
- Numbers, prices and money
- Directions, taxis and transport
- Housing vocabulary and talking to a landlord
- Food, markets and daily shopping
How much time do you need?
It depends on your starting point and how often you study. A shorter package gives you survival phrases; a longer one gives room for real conversation practice. Your teacher will suggest a plan after your free trial.
How it works
At Lisanova Academy, lessons are taught live online by Moroccan teachers. You can book a free trial lesson first, then choose a private package (8 hours $200, 12 hours $300, 20 hours $400) or ask about group classes.
